Not shown: the figures read from this document do not match the summary table (Hillary Clinton: document 4,556,210 vs 4,491,191; Donald Trump: document 2,819,534 vs 2,790,073; Gary Johnson: document 176,598 vs 174,951), so the statewide figures above are used instead. Check the original document for county detail.

Notes on how this document was read
  • Rotated column headers were transcribed from the page images in column order. Clinton/Kaine appear on three lines (DEM, WOR, WEP) and Trump/Pence on two (REP, CON); each line is a column and the UCSB figure is the sum.
  • The UCSB row (Clinton 4,491,191; Trump 2,790,073; Johnson 174,951; total 7,622,328) is below this document's figures (revised 1-9-2017: 4,556,124 / 2,819,534 / 176,598 / 7,673,006 before blank and void): the UCSB page carries an earlier set of returns. The document's figures are kept as printed and the check reports the difference.
  • 'Statewide Total' is the statewide row; 'Total NYC' and the RECAP line (the per-candidate sums) are skipped. 'Void' is kept under extra.
